Parental alienation involves the systematic brainwashing, poisoning and manipulation of children with the sole purpose of destroying a loving and warm relationship they once shared with a parent. My story involves this form of child abuse & exploring the bias favouring a mother in the social ecosystem around Family Law.

I have met and heard the tragic stories of many parents. PA is a function, by and large, of a custodial ex-partner, although some alienation can start while the couple is still together.

This blog is a story of experiences and observations of dysfunctional Family Law (FLAW), an arena pitting parent against parent, with children as the prize. Due to the gender bias in Family Law, that I have observed, this Blog has evolved from a focus solely on PA to one of the broader Family/Children's Rights area and the impact of Feminist mythology on Canadian Jurisprudence and the Divorce Industry.

Someone should tell the Editor of the Edmonton Sun, The Ontario
Government, The BC Government, the Federal Department of Justice the
Police Chief in London Ontario, and oh - yes Status of Women Canada,
that it does no good to cover up or hide from women's violence. There
are, of course, lots more but they are those I have written to or about
in the past month. It appears the Prof who just fatally shot 3
colleagues and wounded 3 others also killed her brother 24 years back.

The
now retired Police Chief (see below) denies a cover up as she was not
charged but all the paper work is missing. The corruption when it comes
to Women's violence appears to run deep and is widespread.MJM

An
Alabama university professor accused of fatally shooting three
colleagues at a faculty meeting this week shot her younger brother dead
at their home in the Boston suburbs more than 20 years ago, but records
of it are missing, police said Saturday.

Amy Bishop
shot her brother in the chest in 1986, Braintree police Chief Paul
Frazier said at a news conference. She fired at least three shots,
hitting her brother once and hitting her bedroom wall, before police
took her into custody at gunpoint, he said.

Before
Bishop could be booked, however, the police chief back then called
officers and told them to release her to her mother, Frazier said. The
shooting of the brother, Seth Bishop, was logged as an accident, but
detailed records of the shooting have disappeared, he said.

"The
report's gone, removed from the files," he said.

The
Harvard-educated neurobiologist who became an assistant professor at
the Alabama school in 2003 has been charged with capital murder, and
other charges are pending.

Police
said a 9 mm gun was found in a restroom in the science building on the
University of Alabama's Huntsville campus, where the shootings
occurred Friday afternoon.

She was taken Friday
night in handcuffs to the county jail, and said as she got into a
police car: "It didn't happen. There's no way. ... They are still
alive."

District Attorney Ron Broussard said he did not
think Bishop has a lawyer. Her husband, James Anderson, was detained
and questioned Friday, though he has not been charged.

Ray
Garner, a spokesman at the Huntsville campus, said Bishop had been
denied tenure — a type of job protection afforded academics — months
ago, and this was to be her last semester.
Some have said the
professor, who students said was bright but had difficulty explaining
difficult concepts, opened fire because of a dispute over the issue.

Students' assessments of Bishop varied. Some recalled
an attentive, friendly teacher, while others said she was an odd woman
who couldn't simplify difficult subjects for students. Sammie Lee
Davis, the husband of a tenured researcher who was killed, said his
wife had described Bishop as "not being able to deal with reality" and
"not as good as she thought she was."

Davis said his wife was a tenured researcher at the
university. In a brief phone interview, Davis said he was told his wife
was at a meeting to discuss the tenure status of another faculty
member who got angry and started shooting.

Davis'
wife, Maria Ragland Davis, was among those killed, along with Gopi K.
Podila, chairman of the biological sciences department, and another
faculty member, Adriel Johnson.

Bishop had created a
portable cell incubator, known as InQ, that was less expensive than its
larger counterparts. She and her husband had won $25,000 in 2007 to
market the device.

Andrea Bennett, a sophomore majoring
in nursing and an athlete at UAH, said a coach told her team that
Bishop had been denied tenure, which the coach said may have led to the
shooting.

Bennett described Bishop as being "very
weird" and "a really big nerd."

"She's well-known on
campus, but I wouldn't say she's a good teacher. I've heard a lot of
complaints," Bennett said. "She's a genius, but she really just can't
explain things."

It was not clear if anyone at the
campus of Bishop's bother's shooting.

Frazier said
people who worked for the police department then remember the shooting
of Bishop's brother and he planned to meet with the district attorney
over the possibility of launching a criminal investigation into the
report's disappearance.

The former police chief, John
Polio, said Saturday in an interview at his home that he was astonished
at any allegation of a coverup. He said he didn't call officers to
tell them to release Bishop.

"There's no coverup, no
missing records," he proclaimed.

Attempts by The
Associated Press to track down addresses and phone numbers for Bishop's
family in the Braintree area weren't immediately successful Saturday.
The current police chief said he believed her family had moved away.

Some Gems on relationships

Marriage is a relationship in which one person is always right, and the other is a husband.

The motto of this Father's Rights Activist

"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again ... and who, at the worst, if he fails at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat." Theodore Roosevelt,

Facts on violence in Canada Domestic and Otherwise

Of the nearly 19 million Canadians who had a current or former spouse in 2009, 6.2% or 1.2 million reported they had been victimized physically or sexually by their partner or spouse during the five years prior to the survey. This proportion was stable from 2004 (6.6%), the last time the victimization survey was conducted, and down from 1999 (7.4%).

A similar proportion of men and women reported experiencing spousal violence during the five years prior to the survey. Among men, 6.0% or about 585,000, encountered spousal violence during this period, compared with 6.4% or 601,000 women.

I advocate on changes to Family Law - an incredibly dysfunctional arena where parents are pitted against one another and children are the victims.

An Alienated Child

Is a troubled child

American Coalition for Fathers & Children Petition

A quote by a well known Canadian Jurist

The Honorable Justice John Gomery of Canada stated, “Hatred is not an emotion that comes naturally to a child. It has to be taught. A parent who would teach a child to hate the other parent represents a grave and persistent danger to the mental and emotional health of that child.”

(The above quote arises from PSM vs. AJC, a decision rendered by Mr. Justice John Gomery on February 15 1991 (SCM 500-12-184613895), and confirmed by the unanimous judgment of the Court of Appeal on June 14 1991, the trial judge was confronted by a case involving four children caught up in a heated custody battle between their parents whereby the children became "catastrophically" alienated from their mother.)A good paper on PAS for lawyers by a lawyer, Anne-France Goldwater (Avocate), and excerpts from the above trial are located here.
